Why The Maersk Institute Was Right About Ship Batteries But Wrong On Price
The September 2024 pre-feasibility study from the Maersk McKinney Møller Center on battery-powered vessels that crossed my screen today provides a welcome and thoughtful addition to the critical discussion of maritime electrification. The report rightly identifies battery-hybrid propulsion as an essential part of shipping’s decarbonization toolkit. It demonstrates a clear … [continued]

Glen Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world – clear turquoise-colored water, Sleeping Bear Dunes off in the distance.
Scratching the Right Itch
Ron Reimink knew how uncomfortable and annoying swimmer’s itch could be. He spent much of his adult life trying to eradicate it in lakes across northern Michigan. Then one day, he realized he was completely wrong.
A Deeper Look at Hidden Damage: Nano-CT Imaging Maps Internal Battery Degradation
The minerals that power lithium-ion batteries—including lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite—are both highly valuable and difficult to come by. As battery storage capacity across the United States continues to grow, constraints on the mining, refining, and processing of key minerals leaves our energy systems vulnerable to the fluctuations of … [continued]

How Minor Metals Could Cause Major Electrification Bottlenecks
In the discourse around global electrification, much of the attention is mistakenly drawn to the purported shortages of primary metals such as lithium and cobalt. As I’ve argued extensively elsewhere, including in critiques of the flawed models by Michaux and Cathles, these scenarios vastly overstate scarcity due to extreme and … [continued]
